Oro shaking up the happy hour

Later today, I’ll post an updated version of the downtown happy hour list. Right now, I’m singling out Oro, the bar and restaurant at the Emily Morgan Hotel, because there’s some explaining to do on a couple of happy hour fronts.

 Friday martinis: Years from now, we will recall the days when you could walk into the Emily Morgan Hotel on a Friday and order 50 cent martinis. That’s now a thing of the past, as is the $1 martinis.

Oro’s Friday lunch martini is now $2, but, as opposed to when the libations were 50 cents and $1, they’re only $2 if you order lunch. The deal runs 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Fridays. Two buck ‘tinis are the Yellow Rose, Tito’s Ultimate Martini, The Gibson, the Watermelon Tini and Chocolate Hazelnut Tini.

On Thursdays, Oro is adding tarot card reading, a massage chair and the soothing sounds of the L&M’s and calling it Psychic Happy Hour. All of the psychic extras are on the house as long as your purchase booze. It’s certainly an different take on the happy hour. If you’ve been, let us know what it’s like.
